basketball talking defense
If you're not talking, you're not playing defense
basketball team winning
Do you want to choose winning over standing out? It's a choice every player on every championship team has to do
team likes tough
Everybody likes each other until things get tough. Then you will find out what kind of team you have.
basketball player effort
I'm looking for activity. I put players in and take them out based on effort and defense, not making or missing shots
player half defense
If you're a great defensive player, you're a great defensive player 100% of the time. You can't be a great defensive player half of the time because you didn't get the ball once or twice. That can't sidetrack you. It's got to be 'I live for my defense, and my offense I'll get. But I can't let it affect my defense. Nothing affects my defense.'
basketball hurt hate
Sometimes you will hate me because I will tell you the truth about your game. And the truth can hurt/humble you
groups want ifs
If you want to go quickly, go by yourself - if you want to go farther, go in a group.
basketball balls picks
Encourage 'random' picks on the ball because they cannot be scouted
basketball discipline losing
How competitive can you be without losing your discipline?
basketball player want
Good players want to be coached... Great players want to be told the truth
effort far focused game obviously washington
Well, that was not a pretty game obviously for us. I never thought we had anything going for the most part. I thought the effort was up and down. I thought Washington was far more focused than us.
ball everybody good great moved paul played
Wally and Paul played so well off each other. Well, everybody did a great job. The defense, at times, was really good with the rotations, and I just thought the ball moved great.
hurt lost watching
I thought we really lost our intensity. We started watching them play for a while, and I thought that really hurt us.
ball found game great guys kept moving open swing trap until won
I thought we won the game because of great ball movement. That's how you play at the end of a game. If they trap you, swing it, and the ball kept moving until it found the open guy. You could see our guys at the end were getting into the ball movement.
